Another round, another fail. Had one person joining the server and :gasp: waving at me, but they disconnected afterwards :sad_trombone:
While a very small sample size, even those who did end up joining weren't interested in having a chat. So it might be the case that this isn't as needed as much as I thought it would be.
On the flip side, I'm glad I didn't put that much effort into it. I had some friends who suggested a much more sophisticated bot.
